I have been surfing through the parts we use to build engines in order build a new engine for my '65 Impala. To start with, I am planning to build on BluePrint Engine's new small block castings which aren't quite ready yet. Standard bore 400, 4.125 easily bored out to 4.155. That is with 3.75" stroke. The block will have 350 sized mains and 1 piece rear main seal. We have access to 4340 forged cranks in 3.75" to 4.00" stroke.
Second, I will be using BluePrint's 220cc heads. Unfortunately they only come in 64 cc chambers. Makes piston selection tougher.
I want to build something different. 4.125 bore, 3.875" stroke, but to keep compression down to 9.25:1 for turbo boost. That means somewhere around 30 cc dished pistons. Yikes! I have a lot more piston choices is I go 3.75" stroke with 6.00 " H beam rods.
Looking into opening up the combustion chambers a bit, if it's possible without screwing up the chambers.
I am planning on using a nitrous cam from Comp. We use a couple of different ones with .520 to .577 lift. 236 to 248 duration.
The turbos I have are a pair of T70's bought from DNA Motoring. They claim they are capable of 600 hp each. So, I will expect 300 hp each. Believe or not, they are nice quality. I also have turbo manifolds, waste gates, blow off valve, and carb hat. They are set up for 7 lbs of boost, maybe go up to 9 with the boost controllers I also have. I am not looking to make huge boost.
My goal is 700 hp at the crank. Will make my car real fun to drive and still be drivable
